No XPS option in ADE

After I upgraded IC617 to IC618, XPS option in ADE is disappeared. I also upgraded the Spectre to 211 version. Is there any option to turn XPS on?

    Check on the "Enable MS" button instead.

    Looks as if you've increased the font size too much as the fields are overlapping; Many of the ADE forms still used the coordinate-based approach for form creation which don't handle font size changes well.

    Thanks Andrew. I can check "Enable MS" button but why I cannot see XPS MS button? I used the default font size and even smaller font size but still cannot see this option.

    Spectre XPS MS has been renamed to Spectre MS. This is because it's available with both Spectre APS and Spectre X - see this article (it covers APS with Enable MS too):

    Enabling the Spectre X solver in Spectre MS (formerly known as Spectre XPS MS) using Spectre 20.1 and IC 6.1.8 ISR16
